As of now mine is scheduled for 3/31

Hi! I signed up for the VSG on April 26th but recently decided to switch to the gastric bypass due to long-standing GERD.

Now I’m impatiently waiting! I’m also doing it in Mexico (Tijuana) due to self-pay with bmi <35.

Good luck! 4/19 surgery here. I love your username ?

Hey Y'all!

I'm having the SADI/SIPS (duodenal switch variant) on 4/4/22! It was originally scheduled for 2/28, but I couldn't get the cardiac clearance tests in time. So, next available was 4/4. I'm a bit bummed about how long I have to wait, but I've come to realize it is a great opportunity for me to practice all of the new habits I need to acquire - such as: sipping (I'm using a shot glass to drink water so that I know what a 'sip' feels like in my mouth.), eating itty bitty bites, exercising a bit, getting into taking the multivitamins routine, and testing different products for the clear liquid week following surgery, etc.

Just by way of stats - 58 year old female Texan who needs to lose 140lbs.

Hello everyone, I just got told today my duodenal switch surgery is April 5th. I finally got my surgery date. It may be a while. But it will be here before I know it. My high Protein low carb diet starts March 22nd. Can't wait to get started. Can't wait to get to know all of you.

I'm scheduled for the same (SADI/SIPS) surgery the day before you! And, fellow Texan, I see! Where are you in Texas, Sherie? I'm in the Austin Area.

Surgery Date April 1st, maybe April fools isn't the best day ? I'm excited.

Good luck everyone on your surgery dates. The wait is brutal but we have the rest of our lives to live a healthier, better life so praying for patience ?

Good Luck to everyone having surgery in April!!! My date is 04/05/2022. I am excited to be on this journey with everyone.

Are you all on a 2 week liquid date prior to surgery? That’s my surgeons plan and I’m so dreading it. But it will be good practice!

It’s tiered based on bmi.

I think I’d cheat if I was required to be on a clear liquid diet for weeks. I need queso dip to function ???

Congratulations to everyone with dates! I have no clue how this site works lol. I need to change my profile name lol!!!
